Bug Description
Binary package hint: ssmtp
In some circumstances, for example when a process pauses during ouputting data, without sending a newline, ssmtp writes garbage in emails, corresponding to an uninitialized part of a buffer. Happens every day on my machines where cronjobs output lot of data.
Bug is explained here, with a perl script that reproduces the problem.
